Brake lights stay on got a recall on it dealer says they fixed it and now want yo charge me over 200.00 to fix it agin
Recall code 136, brake lights stay on. This does not show up in my history of recalls for my sonata. The vehicle rear brake lights will stay on after full release of the brake pedal. Brake lights may show off, car is then shut off. 2 minutes later, the car brake lights are on (not all the time, but frequent enough). This is a reoccurring event.
The brake light explodes every couple of months.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the engine failed to function normally. The vehicle was taken to atlantic hyundai (193 sunrise hwy north service rd, west islip, ny 11795, (631) 587-0700) where it was repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v934000 (engine, fuel system, gasoline). The remedy failed and the check engine indicator illuminated; however, the dealer refused to repair the vehicle again. In addition, the tail lights shorted out numerous times and the bulbs were replaced more than five times. The vehicle was unable to be driven due to the faulty engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was not available.
The airbag light will not go out. It came on while I was driving on a city street. My daughter was in the front passenger seat. We both had our seatbelts on. I'm concerned for our safety. Not sure what the airbag light is trying to warn.
My front end and break lights continue to go out. No matter how many times I purchased. Had accident. Vehicles I see in my town, with the same year and model have same issues.lights consistently blow out.
My engine light is not working. Does not light up when vehicle is turned on.
The car exploded, burned and is a total loss. As the vehicle was in motion, the engine began to smoke. Gas then began to leave and the stench of gas was strong. Upon pulling over in a parking lot of a fast food resturaunt, a fire started in the engine area and the fire began to rapidly spread. As I got out of the car the car exploded. The dekalb county fire report number is [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The left door lock began to only unlock sporadically when pressing the unlock button. Now only unlocks my door about 35% of the time. It appears to be a poor door lock actuator and seems to be worse when the weather changes. This issue first presented itself about 9 months ago and was very sporadic and now is a very common issue
I pulled out on to a 4 lane highway and the engine stalled and the car coasted across. After a few seconds car regained power and went on but still losing power. When driving on interstate car keeps stalling at high rates of speed. When I cut on lights while driving car stalls/loses power for a few seconds then goes on. Brake lights aren't working all the time plus 3rd brake light keeps sticking. I need answers to this before we get seriously hurt!!!!!
My radio display and all speakers completely quick working I searched for months here and there when I had time I even upgraded my radio to the factory touch screen radio and the display came on but no sound and finally I took the factory amp apart and it had water damage I was not in a wreck or anything only thing I could think of how it got wet is terrible placement of factory amp on the outside of the frame in the trunk so now I have to ride in silence or with a bluetooth speaker because hyundai wanted to put and electronic in the worst place possible where it is completely exposed to road degree and in my case rain
I have gotten my car in march 2018 since then I had to change my brakes rogers and now I have a knocking noise in steering wheel and when press down on brakes tires double turn at time
Takara recalls after buying several new batteries my sonata 2011 won't start and continues to do the same over and over again....what is wrong? And is there a recall?
Brake light wires run too hot while car is operating and causes bulbs to burn out a day or two after being replaced. Plastic seems to be melting and may be able to cause a fire. Brake lights go in and out while driving as well which may cause an accident.
My key gets stuck in the acc postion. And will not turn to the lock position after experiencing this after 24 hours I finally was able to get the key out. The next day when I put the key in the ignition it would not turn to cit on.
I replace light bulbs on my car every month if it's not the headlights, it the brake or tail light. I know a few people who own sonatas and we all have the same problem. Being that this is an issue for more than one customer, instead of hyundai making money off their malfunction, there should be a recall on the electrical system dealing with the lights. I have almost been run into and hit by other cars because we cannot see each other.

Good afternoon, I am contacting the consumer affairs department regarding the recall 180 hyundai is conducting a safety recall in the united states to confirm the high pressure fuel pipe was properly connected by hyundai dealers to the high-pressure fuel pump outlet when the engine was replaced under recalls 132 and 162. In come cases, during the engine replacements under recall campaigns 132 and 162, the high pressure fuel pipe may have damaged, misaligned, or improperly torqued during the engine replacement procedure, allowing fuel to leak from the pipe. Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel pipe, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact hyundai customer service at 1‑855‑371‑9460. Hyundai's recall number for this recall is 180. My hyundai sonata limited was involved in an accident after hyundai had just replaced the motor and on impact the whole car caught on fire, so what I am trying to do is find out do I need to contact the federal safety agency in regards to this matter but I feel that my life, the person involved in the accident was totally at risk due to this malfunction and I am out of so much and was put in a very hard financial place due to this fire when it could have been prevented. If someone could please contact me at [xxx] thanks, [xxx] VIN #: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I never received information regarding the recalls on my hyundai sonata 2011 vehicle. I was driving my hyundai sonata 2011 on 4/11/19, going about 60 miles an hour and the cut shut off. Was in heavy congested traffic and I was almost rear ended with no control of the hyundai sonata 2011vehicle. My hyundai sonata 2011 was moved to the side of the road where a tow truck was called. Subsequently, hyundai sonata 2011was taken to the huntington dealership. Dealer informed me there was 7 recalls of which I not aware of in regards hyundai sonata 2011 this could have been a life threaten situation and hyundai should notified me of all recalls. This is unacceptable and life threating to family friends and community.
The drivers side rear light bulbs keep on going out. Have changed them about ten times in one year! I cannot change them anymore as the plastic casing has morphed by the heat of the fuse connector to the bulb! There are two bulbs rolling in the casing as they came off when trying to extract and replace. Also I have never had any lights illuminate on my dashboard, even when my engine was knocking due to shavings in engine (that was replaced, thank you). Lastly, had to replace my shocks and struts this year and was told by mechanic at big o tire that they contacted hyundai directly as they ran into an issue with replacing what should have been correct struts. They were told this particular car with associated VIN has the 'goofy' struts!!! I'm sorry but I didn't pay a goofy price for the car!

"power assist recall/air bag recall" the electrical power steering in my car has created a problem when driving on the interstate. The cost to repair the car is in excess of $1200 new and $600 or more used. The electrical panel in the car is not completely functional either. I have problems with power windows and locks. There have been a total of more than 10 recalls on this particular model vehicle. I cannot afford to repair or purchase another vehicle. When I investigated further this was the latest issue listed. Steering:electric power assist system recall summary: hyundai motor company (hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011 sonata vehicles manufactured december 11, 2009, to october 31, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the electronic power steering (eps) circuit board may be damaged and result in a loss of power steering assist. In addition there are several air bag recalls on the vehicle. Including the following: frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates deployment of these safety systems.
Was driving on the freeway when we hear a loud pop. Suddenly the car would no longer accelerate. We pulled over and smoke was coming out of the front of the car. Popped the hood open and some of the wires were on fire. Withing 5 minutes the whole front of the car was on fire.
My car will stall in the middle of driving. It happens more frequently now and normally happens right after a left or right turn.
The buttons on my steering wheel sometimes intertwine with other buttons on my steering wheel and as I press one button the other is activated that I did not engage at all.
